It Lives!

Long overdue for a post - just a quick check in on a few items.

1) We will meet on Friday after school - start 2009 off RIGHT!

2) We have a lot of poems to workshop and prepare for Volume Six, but I'd rather spend time on our most dedicated members' poems, so if you have anything you'd like to put through the wringer, bring it in.

3) It isn't official yet, but the Collab deadline is going to be in late January. There isn't going to be a final contest per se (we have a LOT of stuff to get through), but we will award a prize for the best entry that was entered after the Final Thoughts contest (retroactively including the 30+ pieces we already have). But they don;t matter. YOU DO. Submit your poems, especially the seniors who are tuned in. It's your last chance.

4) It looks like the plan to record poems for Poetry Out Loud is dead. My fault. Maybe we'll revive it later this year, but this may end up being a 2009-10 project. Or an impossible quest.

5) A reminder to spread the word to all other poetry blogs starring ramblers past and present (welcome, Kristie!). This really should be the hub of all BHS poets, in my opinion. Let's make that meager dream come true.

***I ALMOST FORGOT***

You can now tell people about this blog more easily - we are the first listing that shows up when you type Poetic Ramblings into a Google search - no quotation marks required. We've reached the big time.

That's all. Welcome back, and we'll see you on Friday.
